Ik Kil Eco-archaeological Park Cenote

Piste, Yucatan Mexico

Reviewed April 3rd, 2006

Nothing, not even an unfamilar keyboard set up could stop me from writing this review from the middle of the Yucatan. Cenotes are sinkholes of clear, deep blue water found in geological areas called karst. Yucatan is one such area, and its cenotes were used for thousands of years by the Yucatec Maya and other peoples for religious purposes. Nowadays, busloads of tourists use the cenotes for their purposes, mainly cooling off from the tropical heat and Spanish comprehension failures. Some of both prompted and facilited our escape from bustling Piste, Mexico just 4 kilometers away and the jumping off point for the Chichen Itza ruins.

The bathrooms here featured clean, milky marble, toilet paper and a giant speedo on the floor. The speedo may not be there forever, but neither will you. Good stuff.
